please sir, can I have some more?

No fair
So, I know I'm not the first person to think these thoughts, but, I am getting more and more irritated by the fact that we have to work 40 hrs a week, every week of our lives, and out of the 260 days we work in every year, we only get 10 or so days off. And, we only get one life! How is that fair?

There are too many trips I want to take and not enough allotted time! This is why people start their own business, isn't it.

A selfish reason to be good to your partner
Couples who routinely trade nasty or controlling remarks during marital spats might be harming their hearts. According to a recent study, wives who made a lot of hostile remarks had double the level of clogged arteries. Husbands who made many domineering statements had arteries that were one and a half times more clogged.

The only problem with this is that correlation is not causation -- you can't conclude one causes the other. Maybe it's just that jerks are more likely to eat meat.

If all jerks eat meat (which wasn't even what I was suggesting), that does not mean that all meat-eaters are jerks.

(However, since you bring it up, you have to admit that it takes a certain amount of lack of mercy or compassion to pay for animals to be horribly abused.)

I love having 45 days off a year and sometimes working 20 hours a week.

Then again, I guess I have more of a chance of being shot than you.

You could move to socialist Europe where you only have to work 30 hours a week, but then you might get killed in all those riots...

Life's a see-saw or something.
